Book of Life!

Revelation 21: 27

²⁷ But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

When I was a sophomore in High School, a group of underclassmen were given the chance to play for the varsity squad.

We worked our butts off, but when the names of kids who made the grade, were posted in the gym hall way, my name wasn’t on it.

I remember that feeling like it was yesterday.

I didn’t make the grade, and my name wasn’t written on the paper for the varsity roster of 1974.

I felt like the Holy Spirit gave me this verse, right after I heard about the shootings in Virginia of the two young journalists.

As tragic as that was, I wonder if their names were in the book?

An LA police officer died yesterday in the line of duty.

I wonder if his name was in the book?

I’m so blessed that my name appears in the Heavenly roster.

I’m so grateful that my wife, and children’s names are written there too.

One day, I’m praying my grandbabies names will be written in the book.

I pray that too for all of my siblings.

Is your name written in the book?

That’s one thing you want to make very certain of…
